An Imperial Probe Droid gave the Empire their best lead in finding the hidden Rebel base in the Hoth system. When the Imperials came out of hyperspace too close to the system, the Rebels had time to detect the Empire's presence and activated an energy field strong enough to deflect bombardments from the Star Destroyers orbiting the planet. Darth Vader orders General Veers to launch a surface attack immediately.
General Maximilian Veers is the commander of the Imperial ground troops racing to Echo Base. Veers personally supervises the advance of the Empire's All Terrain Armored Transports and the snowtrooper forces toward the shield generator on the surface of Hoth.
Having learned of the existence of Luke Skywalker in the Rebellion, Darth Vader is aggressively scouring the galaxy for the hidden Alliance base. When the probe droid returned blurry images from the surface of Hoth, Darth Vader ordered the Star Destroyers to the planet without hesitation.
Darth Vader will stop at nothing to track down and capture the leaders of the Rebel Alliance.
The Rebellion chose the distant planet of Hoth to stay far away from the prying eyes of the Empire, but their hidden base has been discovered. The Rebellion forces must evacuate Echo Base and these Rebel leaders are just some of the difference makers in this landmark battle.
General Carlist Rieekan of Alderaan is the commander of all Alliance ground and fleet forces in the Hoth system.
During the battle of Echo Base, General Rieekan orders the evacuation and directs all defense, counterattack, and evacuation through subordinate commanders Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker.
Leia Organa of Alderaan once served in the Galactic Senate, but now uses her natural leadership skills in the uprising against the Empire.
Princess Leia works with General Rieekan at the battle of Echo Base by coordinating the Rebel fighter pilots who will protect the escaping transport ships.
Young Luke Skywalker is an integral part of the Rebel Alliance and an accomplished pilot. Luke is recovering from a vicious wampa attack when the order to evacuate Echo Base is given.
Commander Skywalker is the Rogue Leader of the snowspeeder fleet charged with getting the escaping transports to safety. The snowspeeders must divert the AT-AT's attention long enough for the Rebellion's ships to reach the stars.
Han Solo and Chewbacca are still with the Rebel Alliance long after the destruction of the Death Star, assisting with establishment of the hidden base on Hoth. However, a death mark looms over Han's head, and he is eager to pay the price on his head.
The Imperial attack is launched against Echo Base before Han and Chewie leave to meet Jabba the Hutt, and the smuggler and his co-pilot must get Princess Leia safely off the icy planet before it is too late.
Dack Ralter of Kalist VI is a hotshot tailgunner assigned to Luke Skywalker's snowspeeder. This fresh-faced young gunner feels ready to take on the whole Empire by himself.
These are just some of the major players in the battle you might encounter during the skirmish on the icy fields of Hoth. You and your friends have an important role to play alongside these heroes in Chapter 11: The Battle of Echo Base.
